Monday, 1/19/26, Texted with Maddy..lots of health issues, prayed for her., prayed for Kimmy and Jared’s safe trip to see their puppy, Bill snow blowed the driveway and walkways and shoveled the deck, went to Melissa’s to take her blanket, Vikki, Peyton and Isaac came over, Kimmy and Jared came over,

When I got up this morning, I noticed my Crown of Thorns plant had fallen completely over.  I cleaned up the mess and stuck it in the corner so it could lean on the wall and shelf.  Moved my other plants to vacuum good.

The package Melissa’s blanket came in had return written small and in pencil on the top and the box was damaged.

I got up to go to the bathroom at 8 and noticed my Crown of Thorns plant fell over.  I picked it up and moved it to the corner and picked up most of the mess and then vacuumed.  I started a load of laundry we bought home from our trip.  Then I went back to bed which is unusual for me.  Bill was getting up and then asked me if I was going back to bed.  When I told him yes, he got in be again.  We slept until 9.  We had to make up for the time change adjustment.  

He snow blowed the driveway and walkways and shoveled the deck,  He took his shower in the morning too.  I took my shower and then dried my hair and did it.  Then I took Melissa her electric blanket I got her for Christmas.  It has taken a month to get here.  I was a little concerned because of the damaged box and the word return on it.  She took the blanket out of the box and the cord was just in the bottom of the box not in any packaging.  She plugged the blanket in and we both sat under it waiting for it to get warm.  It never did.  Kimmy and mine both heat up so quickly we have to turn them off or we get too warm.  We put it back in the box and I left and went to Walmart to get a pot for my Crown of Thorns.  It has outgrown its old one.  I called Vikki to let her know when I left Melissa’s.  When I got on our road, I saw a car way ahead of me.  It turned into my driveway, so I called Vikki and let her know I was going to be pulling in behind her so she didn’t block the garage.  The kids helped me carry in stuff from my car.  We had fun hanging out together.  Peyton helped me with everything today and was so sweet.  Isaac did too and he told me what I needed to do for our Roku in the living room. I prayed with Vikki about her test results.  Kimmy and Jared came over on their way home from meeting their new puppy.  It was fun seeing all their pictures.  He sure is cute.  I can’t wait to meet him.

Vikki set my walking pad back up for me.  It fell on her shoulder and clunked her good.  Poor Vikki.  I could tell it hurt bad.  Jared came and helped her get it set up.  I got on it and could walk at 3.  I will be starting walking a mile with the girls tomorrow morning.  I’m glad I can get more exercise now.  We snacked on chips, candy, and jello with fruit.  I didn’t get groceries so pretty much our refrigerator was on empty.  It was nice hanging out for so long.  Kimmy and Jared had to leave, so we said goodbye and then Vikki, Peyton and I went into the family room and watched House of Worship with Michael W. Smith and lots of other worshippers.  It was so awesome.  We watched all of the ones they have.  On the 23rd another will come out.  So good to worship the Lord.  I love how Vikki loves to worship.  I do too.

They left, after Vikki had Isaac bring her keys in s they could warm up and work.  She used the blowdryer which helped.  They left.  I made eggs, fried potatoes and bacon for us for dinner.  I only have 4 eggs left.  I will be getting some groceries tomorrow.  

Going to bed now as I have to get up really early.  Kernel burner guy is coming at 8 to start working on the fireplace insert.  Yay!  I am excited to get it put in.  It is going to be getting really cold in a few days.
